I'm going to show this post to anyone who asks me what Lemmy is like.

Didn't take long for the transphobic accusation to come out.

Not everything is about trans people.

[-] Jackthelad@lemmy.world -1 points 7 hours ago

Except when it's women, obviously.

[-] Jackthelad@lemmy.world -1 points 11 hours ago

Naturally, the trans lobby get involved whenever something to do with protecting women comes up...

Right. But do you realise how high they would have to be to nationalise multiple trillion dollar companies?

[-] Jackthelad@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Lol. What a ludicrous idea.

How high do you want your taxes to be, for a start?

[-] Jackthelad@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Loving his hairdo.

She does, but these stunts also mean we end up hearing more from her.

I'm not sure anyone really wants that.

They are annoying because they're just grifters. They claim to be speaking "truth to power" but really they just make shit jokes.

Of course they're going to say that Labour is fair game now, because how else are they going to get money from people just from following Liz Truss around?

I always assume these are those Very Online™ people. Who spend most of their lives in a bedroom, not interacting with the real world.

It still annoys me that dark mode is not universally available on every app.

iVerify vice president of research Matthias Frielingsdorf points out that while Showcase represents a concerning exposure for Pixel devices, it is turned off by default. This means that an attacker would first need to turn the application on in a target's device before being able to exploit it. The most straightforward way to do this would involve having physical access to a victim's phone as well as their system password or another exploitable vulnerability that would allow them to make changes to settings.

Just a bit of alarmism then, with something that can be easily removed in an update.

I've got a job interview on Tuesday and I haven't had one for a while due to a period of unemployment because of family health issues.

One part of interviews I've always struggled with is when they first ask you to tell them about yourself. I struggle to talk about myself anyway and never know what they'd like me to actually say, whether it's about me as a person or about my work history.

So any tips or tricks would be welcome.

I have an Emma Original Pillow that I've had for three years and the support is basically non-existent now, so I wake up in the night and end up with neck and shoulder pain.

I've tried a Panda Hybrid pillow and a Simba Hybrid firm pillow but neither were any good to me. The Panda was too low for sleeping on my back and the Simba didn't have the support I needed. If I was purely a side sleeper it would be probably be okay, but of course I have to be awkward.

I generally prefer memory foam pillows, but it's been so long since I've had a good night's sleep, I'm willing to try anything.

I'm a lover of physical books but I'm looking to get an e-reader as well, for those books that are hard to find physical copies of, or are just very expensive.

I've ruled out Onyx, because I try to avoid Chinese tech as it's usually poorly made. But I'm not sure whether Kindle or Kobo is best. Is being tied to Amazon's ecosystem too restricting? Are the Kobo e-readers compatible with everything you need? Which ones have the best screens, ideally how a physical book would look?

So many questions, but hopefully some of you can help. 😁

I've suffered with anxiety since I was a kid, and things like CBT don't seem to work for me at all. I know pills from the doctor are available, but I only want to go down that route as a last resort.

So does anyone have any experience with CBD products for treating anxiety? The reviews online seem mixed on whether they actually work.

Looking to attend a Comic Con for the first time next month and I want to meet Nolan North for either a photo or an autograph.

I know neither of them will give you much time with the guest, but which do you think is the best value for money?

Loved this game and can't wait for this DLC to play more of it.

Almost like it was a non-starter. Who could have possibly foreseen that?

I was browsing the PS Store and spotted three of these complete rip-off games, all from the same company. And they're not even subtle rip-offs either.

Take Rocket Car as an example. Looks remarkably similar to something else, doesn't it?

Then there's Construction Machine Simulator. Again, remind you of anything else? Okay, there's a few of these type of games, but this one doesn't even try and disguise that it's ripping off the main game in this genre: https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/product/EP6326-CUSA43614_00-0303332389496733

And finally, there's Wash Simulator. Yet another not even subtle rip off of another popular game: https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/concept/10008957

These are the only ones I've spotted from a quick browse through the Store, I assume there is more. But how on Earth do companies get away with stuff like this? I can understand it on mobile app stores, but are there no checks before these games are put on the PS Store?

29

Noticed this earlier on the Play Store and thought I was going mad. 😂

It's a nice change though!

Looking to buy one of these for use around the house, but I'm not overly knowledgeable about them.

The Bose Soundlink Flex seems to have good reviews from the bit of research that I've done, but any recommendations from you guys on good ones to buy?

Someone sent me a DM to test it out but pressing it on doesn't do anything, so there's no way to respond. I had to log in to the website to reply.

I haven't checked GitHub, so I don't know if this is known or not.
